THE ANALYSIS CONTINUES

Well, three days on and there’s still a lot of raking over the ashes of Sunday’s game. Here are some of the reasons for the defeat:

Our coaches and managers wuz rubbish.
The press wuz nasty to us before the game.
The referee wuz on France’s side.
The controversy about Corry and Dallaglio wuz distracting the players.
Our players wuz tired cuz they’d played for their clubs the week before.
It wuz cold.
We wuz poisoned.

However, I think the real reason is: WE WUZ CRAP.

Never mind, at least I can console myself with even more fantastically positive remarks about boy wonder:

“Another strong performance came from Italy's - (drum roll and brace yourselves because there’s an adjective coming up which I’ve NEVER heard applied to Mirco EVER) - 'Mr Consistency' Mirco Bergamasco, who was a constant thorn in Wales' side at the Millennium Stadium. The Azzurri centre has been one of the stars of the 2006 Six Nations, and his ability to break the gain line provided a constant outlet for his teammates.” skysports

I assure you I haven’t bribed these people to say all these nice things about him! ;p

What’s more, I’ve even been reading that Mirco (or maybe Jason White) should be nominated for Player of the Tournament. Go Mirco again!
